The man who sought his ex-partner to El Colegio (Cundinamarca) is sent to jail to kill her

On Thursday, an assurance measure was issued to him and sent to jail the alleged femicide who traveled from the municipality of Riosucio (Caldas) to the municipality of El Colegio (Cundinamarca) to kill his romantic partner, a crime he perpetrated in the early hours of Tuesday, April 12.

“The Prosecutor's Office charged him with the crime of aggravated femicide, which he did not accept. You will have to comply with the measure to ensure preventive detention in prison,” said Carlos Manuel Silva, Cundinamarca's sectional director, of the accusing body.

The prosecution of the alleged murderer took place last Thursday, after they were captured in a joint effort between uniformed men and officials of the investigating agency.

“We reproach any violent action against women. That is why in record time the National Police, in coordination with the Prosecutor's Office, succeeded in the capture of the person who killed his former partner. We invite citizens to resolve their differences and conflicts through dialogue,” said Colonel Raúl Vera Moreno, commander of the institution in that department.

Precisely even the governor of Cundinamarca himself, Nicolás García, spoke out for that judicial diligence in the same municipality.

“At 8:25 in the evening of this Tuesday, April 12, we can report that the murderer, the one responsible for this femicide, has been captured. We insist on the need to be aware of the non-aggression against anyone, but particularly the women in our department and in our country,” he reported.

From that entity, the crime had been condemned and announced that, in coordination with the Office of the Ombudsman, it would guarantee judicial representation and provide psychosocial support to the victim's family. In addition, they indicated that homicide would be requested to be classified as femicide under Law 1761 of 2015, known as the Rosa Elvira Cely Law.

In the investigation into this crime, sufficient evidentiary material was collected with which the judge was able to issue the measure of assurance to the defendant.

“Through the Cundinamarca section, abundant evidence and physical evidence were obtained to identify and locate the alleged perpetrator. The investigation shows that the woman ended the relationship due to the continuous physical abuse she endured and moved to that municipality,” reported the director of the Cundinamarca section of the Public Prosecutor's Office.

From that agency they revealed that the alleged murderer intimidated the woman through cell phone messages: “The man apparently contacted her by telephone and threatened her with death and sent her photographs of firearms to intimidate her.”

They also added that their obsession came to the point of pursuing it from Riosucio to the aforementioned Cundinamarque population.

“On April 10, the alleged aggressor traveled to the municipality where the victim lived, waited for him to leave his place of work and intercepted her to talk to her. He finally attacked her with a knife and inflicted several wounds on her neck and subsequently fled the scene of the incident,” prosecutor Vera Moreno reiterated on the motives of this crime.
